Please Don't Be Afraid

Blue like a frightened violet,

your face turned from wind's icy stare,

color muted and message denied,
with only a whisper remaining
of your beauty, made speechless
by the cold.

Hesitancy

Hesitancy

Inspirations, like crystal waters flow
cascading over waterfall mind sweeps
down to a grounded world,
next to splash up in diamonds
forceful and glimmering
swimming through air
dancing for the utter joy of it
while considering implementation,
only to disburse by the hand
of quick stepping evaporation
absorbed back into lazy vapors
undone by harsh realities of time
except for those few determined drops
who run fast and break free.

She Gets It

Car ride with the top down 

like a risqué, open blouse

and blond hair

streaming translucence,

while sunshine bullets

skid silver sparks across chrome bumpers,

Sunday free electrification

in super high speed,

a spaniel on her lap shifts head out window,

getting orgasmic in sweet breezes

and a beagle rides passenger,

content in this unrealness

grasping the moment,

freedom-seeking trio.

This girl knows how to live.

She gets it.

Sunday

Sunday

Sunday comes creeping
nudging me, murmuring words
like arise, get up!
She has big plans, this Sunday.
Doing gentle deeds,
speaking words of devotion
to all things common
to me, to everyone,
we start in prayer
and end in the sun, shining
on this good and pleasant life.

Morning Illumination

Morning Illumination

In morning
like spring flowers bloom
my whole world illuminates
with golden-haired thoughts and fresh air dreams,
reaching from ground to cosmos
with joyful dancing
towards God.

Smile

Smile
...a poem for the sycophants

Smile at me,
lips upturned with vague
intentions
denying
your fervor, loyalty, love.
Your mask is slipping.
